DD (13)is so demanding always throwing a paddy as i wont allow her to hang round in parks till 11 at night "all my friends are allowed ect ect " everything is very poor me poor me ! I have worked so hard to make sure she doesnt miss out im a single parent and its hard to make ends meet but she NEVER goes without. I cant have a conversation with her everything is met with a shitty tone and eye roll whilst glued to her phone.She doesnt help i have to nag nag nag to get her to even brush her teeth ! She shoves wrappers down side of sofa and generally does not even minor helpful chores unless i go on and on and on then i get sick of my own voice !She twists what i say to make her a permanent victim i say " I work so hard to provide for you and make sure you dont miss out and you wont even take your plate to the sink without me asking at least 20 times " she hears and tells people " im a mistake my mum hates me" argghhhhh! I know this post is very teenage and prob quite common i just feel so downtrodden i feel quite depressed during term time i speak with school daily about her defiance and lack of concentration or effort ! She can be lovely and sunny and sweet just feel like that side has vanished in last 2 weeks!I just feel like the holidays are a daily battle as met with demands of some party that has no adult supervision and then having to explain why not then a battle begins and she spends the day slamming screaming and stomping ! If i suggest a day in london or other activities shes only interested if it involves her aquring the latest trainers!
